"Who are we waiting for?" Leo asked his mother. He was very curious because his mother rarely picked him up from school, that was his dad's job ever since he came along. Now they were sat in their usual coffee shop with Leondre stuffing his face in the freshly baked chocolate muffins. His mother looked at him, she wasn't going to bother telling him that he was messing his uniform. After all it was a Friday, he might as well-
"We are waiting for one of mommies friend." Della replied suddenly waving her hand at someone. Leo then turned his head to look at the man who was approaching their both. Della had a wide smile clearly excited and happy. Leo watched the exchange as his mother stood up to hug the man who had a strong built and wore casual jeans and a NYC t-shirt. Leo cringed as he sat down next to his mother in their booth.
"You must be Leo-" The man said giving the young boy a smile.
"It's Leondre." Leo replied making his mom give him a warning eye.
"Well alright then Leondre, I'm Spencer." He introduced himself to the kid who sat across them in the booth.
"I didn't ask." Leondre frowned putting his cupcake down.
"Leondre, you are being very rude." Della scolded her son who only glared at her. Sometimes Della questioned why her son was like this, at times it was a blessing to have a much smarter and mature kid but at times-
"It's alright." Spencer said calmly rubbing Della's shoulder. This really put Leo off the edge.
"Can we go home?" He grumbled.
"But you still need to meet my friend, Leo?" Della said through gritted teeth.
"I didn't ask to meet him." Leo said as he furrowed his eyebrows. Looking at the man who's arms were covered in tattoes including his neck. "I thought we were meeting dad." Leo added. Della didn't know how to respond, with Leo he was very unpredictable.
"You will see your dad on the weekend." Della said firmly. "Right now I want you to get to know Spencer." She explained. Spencer was quiet letting her handle the situation, he didn't want to interrupt.
"I don't want to meet Spencer." Leo said rolling his eyes. Della always thought Leo got this little attitude from the Levetté genes probably Jeanine as much as she hated to think about it. He was a spitfire whenever he wanted to be.
"Leo-" Della warned again giving him a warning eye but Leo sat rigid in his spot. With his blonde hair in a messy quiff, he resembled his father.
"Ugh, I'm sorry Spence. He isn't usually like this." Della turned to Spencer which seemed calm and understood the whole scene.
"It's alright, I understand Leondre. You're afraid that someone is in your mother's life and she might love someone more than you. Considering you are used to the idea of it just being the two of you." Spencer said softly eying the little boy who starred at him like he had some sort of disease.
"I think you are just afraid that if I don't like you she won't like you." Leo spit back leaving Spencer with his jaw dropped and Della's mouth ajar. "I don't like you. I don't like your silly tattoes. Mom, I don't like him so can we go home now."
"We are not going anywhere until you apologize to Spencer." Della said clearly flabbergasted by the things her son had said.
"I'm calling dad." Leo retorted his blue eyes blankly staring at the couple that sat opposite him.
"Leondre, you should learn to respect your mother. I don't appreciate the tone you use on her. Where was this father of yours when you were born?" Spencer bit back forgetting he was still just a six year old boy.
Leondre stared back at the just blinking. Blankly he didn't reply, he just continued to stare at them. Rage clear in his eyes.
"Can I be excused?" Leo blinked. "To the bathroom." He added when his mother looked at him with a worried look. She didn't want Spencer to talk to her son like that but it was already done. Maybe she was too soft with him now in her defence Leo was being very disrespectful but he didn't deserve that considering she hadn't discussed how she and Andre ended their marriage. Della thought she would wait for him to at least be a little older before telling him the whole ideal.
"Alright Leo, you can go to the bathroom while I have word with Spencer theeeen-" She said in a excited voice. "Then we can order as many cup cakes as you want huh?" She raised an eyebrow but Leo just turned to go out of the booth straight towards the male washrooms. She instantly felt bad and wanted to follow her baby there.
"You shouldn't have said that to him." Della turned to Spencer who looked un-buffered.
"He is a little spoiled brat, Della. Someone had to set him straight." Spencer shrugged. Della looked at him with a shocked look.
"I thought you said you like kids?" She tried to compose himself.
"I didn't say I like kids, I said I tolerate them darling and I want going to let him disrespectful you like that." Spencer defended himself.
"You are going to go follow him in there and apologize, fix whatever feud you may have with a six year old." Della said firmly.
"Alright Alright, if that's what you want." Spencer gave her a panty dropping smirk. She was easily caught in his trance.
Spencer made his way to the male bathrooms, he didn't find Leo anywhere near the sinks so he must have been in on of the cubicles.
"Yes, daddy."?Spencer heard the little boy sniveling.
